The tiny, fluid-filled sacs called bursae (bur-SEE), which cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles next to your joints, can become inflamed and cause bursitis (bur-SY-tis). When bursae become inflamed, bursitis develops.
Bursitis most frequently occurs in the hip, elbow, and shoulder. However, bursitis can also occur at the base of your big toe, by your heel, and by your knee. Bursitis frequently develops around joints that experience a lot of repeated activity.

Repetitive movements or postures that apply pressure to the bursae surrounding a joint are the most frequent causes of bursitis. As examples, consider:
Tossing a ball around or frequently lifting something above your head.
Using your elbows as a long-term support.
Prolonged kneeling required for jobs like cleaning floors or installing carpet.
A bursitis patient’s afflicted joint may include the following:
It may have stiffness or aches.
It may hurt more when you apply pressure or move it.
It may look red and bloated.
Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic if the inflammation in your bursa is due to an infection.
To reduce discomfort and stop it from coming back, the muscles in the injured area can be strengthened with physical therapy or exercises.
Injections: You can get rid of shoulder and hip discomfort and inflammation by getting a corticosteroid medication injected into the bursa. Usually, this medication takes effect immediately, and you only need one shot in many circumstances.
Surgery: Although surgical drainage of an inflammatory bursa is occasionally required, surgical removal of the afflicted bursa is not.
